CAUTION:
If a physical disk is a member of a disk group that contains multiple
virtual disks and one of the virtual disks is deleted when a rebuild operation is in
progress, the rebuild operation stops. If this occurs, you can resume the rebuild
operation manually using a storage management application. To avoid
interruption, ensure that none of the virtual disks are deleted until the rebuild
is complete.

Enabling Boot Support

NOTE:
See your system documentation to ensure the proper boot order is selected
in the system BIOS.
In a multiple controller environment, you can enable BIOS on multiple

BIOS on that controller and disable it on the other controllers. The system
can then boot from the BIOS-enabled controller. Perform the following steps
to enable the controller BIOS:
1 Press <Ctrl><N> to access the Ctrl Mgmt menu screen.
2 Press <Tab> to move the cursor to Enable Controller BIOS in the
Settings box.
3 Press the spacebar to select Enable Controller BIOS.
An X displays beside Enable Controller BIOS.
4 Press <Tab> to move the cursor to the Apply button, and then press
<Enter> to apply the selection.
The controller BIOS is enabled. To disable the controller BIOS, use the
spacebar to de-select the Enable Controller BIOS control, and then select
Apply and press <Enter>.
